Reason A. Poteet Poet Sijo

Freedom's Fate 2023

Long life, lived in full, longing for death's impending embrace;
my fate's final freedom wavers on two fronts, like old Simeon's.
Departure's deep desire is delayed by a first great grandchild.

Poteet January 8, 2024 at 11:03 AM Some perhaps do not recognize the biblical account of Simeon in Luke 2. At any rate, I truly appreciate YOUR comment as well as the placement in your contest, Andrea. You make my new year happy.
